So we've started potty training. I've been meaning to do this for months, but Penny hasn't really been ready. And although I keep saying that I am ready, I'm really not. Because it's a lot of work. Like, a lot.
Saturday she peed on the potty 4 times, and it took a considerable amount of coaxing. Sunday, 6 times. Great, right? Yeah! But today? 0. Now, I know each day won't be a major success, but today has been frustrating. And I just don't have the energy (or the short term memory) to have her sit on the potty every hour to see if she will pee.
I really want her to be potty trained - at least day trained - and at least for pee.
But this is going to be exhausting. Mostly for me, and I'm not sure if I'm up for the task (although I'm 99% sure Penelope is). I guess parenting is less about what is best for me and what is best for my kids. But darn it, I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate potty training.

Ugh. This afternoon we'll buy some pull ups and go from there. I just need to suck it up and get this done.
If Bryan and I ever have more kids, I am 80% sure we'll adopt, and 100% sure the child will be old enough to be potty trained already.

I agree. I HATE potty training, and the worst part is, the pay off sucks. "Congratulations, now you will never, EVER get out of your house on time again, for REAL this time! And you will have to make all kinds of stops when you're on road trips and running errands and the accidents? Oh, they'll probably take YEARS to stop!" gah. suck.
